New eKool School Management System Aims To Reduce Administrative Work, Raise Parental Awareness, And Improve Learning Outcomes In Ghana

Transforming Education through digitalization

Digitalization has become an integral part of our lives. The role it plays has even increased amidst the ongoing concerns about COVID-19, as a result various sectors, including education have had to re-think and adapt new ways of functioning. 
Digital transformation of the educational sector in Ghana underwent key evolution especially during the lockdown period where measures were taken to implement remote learning for students at home. This represents a major shift in the teaching and learning experience for many students due to their familiarization with the traditional face-to-face classroom sessions.

The concept of traditional education is changing within these past years. The pandemic tested the way knowledge could be impacted. Could the move to online learning be the catalyst to create a more effective method of educating students? 
The world is evolving, and we are entering a new era with the rise of educational technologies designed to improve learning and teaching experience. One such innovative technology is the School Management System.  

School Management Systems and how they operate

A school management system is the best solution for managing daily school operations. It simply allows schools to manage administration, calendar, registration, admissions, attendance, student information, homework and more. 

It operates as a centralized web-based platform which connects parents, teachers, students, and other school authorities. Indeed, there are numerous benefits to be derived from operating with a School Management System.

 Why does a school need a School Management System?

There are many compelling features that a school can derive from operating with this system apart from that fact that we are in a technology and super connected world. 

The software plays the role of reducing the old manual administrative task by making it easier and more efficient. It also provides real-time information to the users – students, parents, teachers, and administrators. 
 
For example, the online platform allows teachers to insert data concerning student’s marks and absence, to share learning materials and to directly contact the parents.
